Eric Whitacre

The great Peter Hollens has multitracked my choral work A Boy and a Girl. Beyond amazing. THANK YOU, Peter!

Thank you so much to everyone who supported the Kickstarter campaign! And we still have ten days, so I’m hoping we can even overfund the project by a bit. WOO HOO!

See you there!

A huge, HUGE thank you to Bill Leigh from Leigh Bureau – he has generously taken the $10,000 pledge on our Kickstarter campaign! That puts us at $78,815… WOO HOO! Thank you, Bill, for helping us to make our dream a reality.

Just finalized the Eric Whitacre Singers US Tour program. (We’ll do this same concert in London, March 12th). Monteverdi: Sfogava con le stelle Whitacre: Lux Aurorum Lauridsen: Luci Serene Chiara Whitacre: Alleluia Whitacre: Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine Whitacre: When David Heard Intermission Bach: Singet dem Herrn Bach/London: Come sweet death Whitacre: Animal Crackers… continued

Redditors: I’ll be doing a Reddit IAMA this Friday the 11th at 4pm EST (9pm GMT). Hope to see you all there!

If you want to learn to compose, compose a piece of music. Don’t ask anyone how to do it. Look at other scores, write your best piece, FINISH IT and then get real human beings to perform it. You will learn more from that single experience than you ever will from a teacher.

Here we go, gang! Virtual Choir has grown beyond our wildest dreams and we can only make VC4 with your help in supporting this Kickstarter Campaign. LET’S DO THIS THING!

The Chelsea Carol, my new work for choir and organ — performed by Christopher Glynn and The Eric Whitacre Singers – is now available on iTunes worldwide. WOO HOO! iTunes.
